The popular Shane Center Presents series continues its new season of performances with a unique evening of songs, sounds and sketches in radio-theater format. Singer/songwriter Stephanie Davis and world-class sound effects man Fred Newman front the Saturday, April 12th show. Music begins at 7:30pm.
Davis has long been captivated by the magic of live radio. Growing up in rural Montana, where the lone local radio station featured everything from cowboy poetry to the hog report, and ads with homemade jingles in between, was, to her, both magical and the comforting sound of home. Years later, as a singer/songwriter, she was invited to be a semi-frequent guest on Garrison Keillor’s iconic A Prairie Home Companion radio show. This was not only a dream come true, but one that sparked the dream to one day write her own show. She has had songs recorded by Garth Brooks, Trisha Yearwood, Martina McBride, Sam Moore and many more.
Newman is an actor, comedian, composer, sound effects artist both in-person and for film, singer and former talk show host. He’s known for his ability to make “mouthsounds” and is not a traditional Foley artist. He has also done character voices and sound effects in numerous film, television and video game credits.
Advance tickets are available at www.theshanecenter.org. The show is sponsored by Walter & Regina Wunsch and Spectec TIC. •
